charlie cook, your thoughts?uest: i think each side is greatly exaggerating what the problems are. we've seen in 41 years in politics, 30 years doing the newsletter, 29.5. very, very few clear cut cases of election fraud, voter fraud in any races whatsoever. but at the same time, i think sort of on the democratic side when they complained about voter intimidation, i think those charges are exaggerated too. the fact is we have a lot of voters in this country who believes that either their side wins or the election -- it's not a matter of my side lost, it's we won or it's stolen. that's -- those are the only two options. and i see that on the left with -- on the left, particularly during the bush 2000 i've seen it on the left and on the right. >> let's take a look at the big picture in 2014. these are some of the races that charlie cook is toss up. let's look at the big picture. 218 needed for a majority of the control of the house to determine whether it's speaker boehner or speaker pelosi. right now, 231 republic

first, charlie cook, editor and publisher of the cook political report and columnist of national journal, will open up with some remarks, then we'll welcome jennifer duffy, senior editor of the cook political report, to give us a rundown on the senate races, and finally we will welcome david wasser match,ous editor of the cook political report who will also join charlie on stage. then finally we'd like to wrap it up with question and answer from the audience. i would like to just take a brief moment to give you an overview of united technologies. as i mentioned this morning, it would not be possible without their generous support. united technologies is a company comprised of several well known brands including pratt and whitney, utc aerospace systems, utc climate controls and security. this morning joining us from united technologies is greg ward, senior vice president of global government relations. greg leads all federal and state government affairs, activities for the company here in the u.s. and also abroad for china, russia and the e.u. greg will now offer a few brief remarks. greg

charlie cook is an msnbc political analyst and the founder of the cook political report. us now live. thanks for joining us, charlie. we appreciate it. >> thank you, kristen. >> so what message do you think christ christie's big win will send to the rest of the gop and the rest of the country? has he basically found a blueprint for winning in 2016? >> i think governor christie's big re-election win says to republicans, if you down play social cultural issues that you could find a nice spot where you're moderately conservative but not too far on economic and simply don't talk too much about cultural issues, that that's a way to go after and peel off some democrats and win the share of independents. >> well, he is going to chair the republican governors association. that's going to give him a chance to stump nationally, essentially, four states up for grabs in the 2014 election. what type of message and posturing will he have to have there? will he stick to sort of the chris christie we know who gets into fights with teachers or will he have to adjust that sort of brash att

. >>> and now more from this washington ideas forum with journalist charlie cook and chuck todd. they looked ahead to the 2016 presidential election and what's ahead in congress before then, including possible passage of immigration legislation. this is 35 minutes. >>> charlie, when i first met you 30 years ago, we were then talking about a republican lock on the presidency. we knew it was a center right country, we knew that social issues worked for the republicans, and we wondered when a democratic candidate could ever carry california again. we then went through a period exemplified by bush-gore when we had an even 50-50 split. it seemed to me that when it shifted a little and democrats were on the high side driven by demography. are we headed toward a democratic lock on the white house? what do you see in terms of the balance going forward? >> that's a great question, john. i remember back that time when democrats won the presidency five out of six times and the phrase we heard a lot was electoral lock on the republican college. i remember being at a backyard cookout, and some

. >> i cite the great house district, prognosticator charlie cook who in his most recent rundown of the 435 house races in 2014, list exactly 14 that are tossups. 14. less than -- about 3%. and if you throw in the likelies and maybes you might get 20% at most. but this is now very typical. very few contests actually see -- are up for grabs. it's a highly divided map, political map. both parties have seen to it that all their seats are safe and not any races that matter but there's really no need for conversation. because we already know what we think. and we really just have to contest in the middle. and makes it all the harder because what money -- which is pouring into this and pours into a fewer number of races. >> what's striking, too, if you look at the executive side of things, the last three presidents have all promised to bring people together. that was their pitch. president bill clinton famously talked about repairing the breach. president george w. bush talked about being a uniter and not a divider and president barack obama would be post partisan and reach across. and all th

joined by the editor of post politics and nbc and msnbc political analyst charlie cook. >> and chris'sr boss. >> protege. charlie, when you have an election in one of the most important swing states in america, there things to learn. what did you learn from virginia? >> to me it's lots of moving parts. you had two candidates that were fairly weak. when i look -- up until mid-july, cuccinelli was ahead in half the pauls and mcauliffe was ahead in half the polls. from july 15th on, 38 straight polls had mcauliffe ahead. what happened in that president, i think it was the governor's problems. he had a 51 or 52% approval ratings, that corresponds -- if you are a stronger candidate, he could have done okay. but i think that's part of it. he wasn't. if tom davis was the republican nominee, they would have won easily. >> what did we learn about the republican party. cuccinelli and the loss and the chris christie one. >> so i guess i spent more time looking at virginia just because it is a swing state. >> the closest thing we get to a national exit poll. it was going to be a race. >> the exit

political analyst charlie cook says democrats need four things to happen if they want a serious shottake back the house. anyway, gop continued self-destructive behavior, more gop retirements, a fractured gop, and quality democratic recruits. well, the recruits are coming out of the woods. one of the democrats' top recruits is challenging a ten-term incumbent in southern new jersey, the seat once held by his father, bill, a namesake. he joins me now, bill hughes jr. and vince power is the democratic party chair out in nebraska. he joins us from omaha. i want to start with you, mr. powers, out there in nebraska. nebraska has this reputation of being the ultimate republican state, i remember that going back to the '60s with nixon beating kennedy out there. what's changed in the last two or three weeks? >> well, thank you very much for having me. actually, the nebraska has elected numerous democrats to the united states senate, but as you know, last year, bob kerry lost, so we don't have any federal officers, office holders. and we're having a very difficult time, unfortunate, recruiting

morning, charlie cook moderates a discussion on the events that may influence the midterm election. the national journal host this event in washington dc at 8:30 eastern. >> with the war in europe turning hot, the u.s. is totally unprepared and george marshall came to president roosevelt and said that we cannot do the things that we have got in the past and we have to act now and precisely. we have to do it today. roosevelt went to congress the next week and said that the united states must build 50,000 airplanes to protect itself. all of the companies were given projects to build engines and airplane parts. the ford motor company was given the be-24 bomber will stop is the newest airplane that we had. produce thisto mass- airplane. he said that he is not just going to build parts, he is going to build airplanes. they took what had been done as individual pieces and they decided to hold the 210 thousandths of an inch and a massive press would knock out these pieces that went to the assembly line and unskilled assembly workers would assemble this airplane. the engine bombers were one

[applause] >> more from the washington ideas form with political analyst charlie cook and white housecorrespondent chuck todd. they talk about what to expect from both local parties as well as who they see as likely presidential candidates in 2016. this is little more than 30 minutes. >> when i first met you 30 years ago, charlie, we were talking about a republican lock on the presidency. we knew that was a center country and we need that social issues worked for the republicans and we wondered when a democratic candidate could ever carry california again. and we went through a time when we were exemplified by bush and gore when he had an even 5050 split and it appeared in the selections me as if we saw it revealed the plates had shifted and democrats were on the high side driven by demography and are we headed towards a democratic lock in the white house and what you see in terms of the bones were balance going forward? >> that's a great question. and earned her 15 out of six times and in this is about 9090 or 1991. and i think that if republicans don't fix their problems with younge

[applause] >> more from the washington idea storm. a former adviser spoke about the rollout of the health care law. doctor ezekiel emanuel with his brother rahm emanuel spoke to "the washington post." this is 35 minutes. >> you know the nuts and bolts of obamacare. you are in the engine room when i was being devised. so what the heck happened? i will give you a technical answer, that i don't know and in january of 21 i thought we were on course. but i think that the one thing that didn't happen, and i've said this before is that we needed a ceo who understood was a really great manager and owner said the health insurance site and understood enough to make sure that the i.t. and e-commerce aspects were going to run nice and well and i was key. no one got appointed to do that with sufficient stature and you don't give this cms decision in there, this isn't something that they can do. and i think that if you had to pinpoint something that should've been done differently, that's

to that end, charlie cook in the national journal has a very interesting piece in which he argues that districts are so entrenched in their particular party that the chances for an overhaul are slim to none. so this 9% approval rating matters not at all. do you agree? >> no, i disagree with that. i think tlfrl quite a number of swing districts. i sit down with steve israel fairly frequently and he's the head of the dccc. he's done a nice job. if you've noticed, this year, the dccc has done a phenomenal job of raising money quarter after quarter. they have beat the tar out of the nrcc in fund raising. they have, you know, they really just have to flip 17 seats and there are a lot of swing districts. for example, new jersey 3. our current congressman john runyon who is an intrepid line minnesota for the philadelphia eagles for so many years, i said to him myself thank you for saving donovan mcnabb's life as a quarterback of the eagles. he's been a fairly moderate republican, but he's retiring. and he told me it was to spend more time with his family, but i think there's a little disgust

. >> charlie, i am going to do a quick introduction. >> before joining the cook political report he she was the press secretary for the national republican committee. >> the reason for that was that back in my sorted past i had been working on the democratic side before i became an independent and capitalist. i found they had a remarkable young woman who looked at raced with an objective eye and good insight. so as soon as i was big enough to hire somebody else, jennifer came on board in 1988. how about the nationals? no, i started to say that. let's say we all landed from mars and what is this about the senate elections next year and let's do broadly. >> in that description of how i came to work for you you forgot what you said when you hired me: i have to hire a republican and you are really not a good one. >> i wouldn't want a partisan. >> that was the point. you didn't want a partisan and didn't get one. so, let's see, mr. martian, we will not start with the basics of being a hundred members in the senate. but in 2010 the republicans were able to get the majority. they were hobbled

>> okay, the problem with this, charlie, is this is like trying to come up with a perfect dish. go back to cooking. it should taste like chocolate, feel like love and cure cancer. that's be great! only we can't get all those at once. >> rose: right. >> and at a point that i used to make to bill when i was at microsoft and have made it to him since then is even if you had another bill gates, bill gates at an earlier point in his career didn't have all the experience of bill gates later. and suddenly parachuting the young bill gates into microsoft may or may not be a good thing. because most great tech entrepreneurs, particularly the people in have gone on to lead their company for a long period of time like jeff bezos, like mark zuckerberg, like larry page those people, i think, would be the first to say, oh, my god, did i ever learn on the job. >> rose: meaning they did very much learn on the job. >> absolutely! so i think on one hand for microsoft i'm a technical guy and i feel the center of any tech company is product expertise. i want to say someone who's deeply immersed in product who is a tec

cooked one last year. but i basically had, there is friend, friend comes over, she and her husband. used to work at charlieme through it. i also get it from the butcher near me. i have been on the phone with him all week. he has been rehearsing me over the phone, the way you talk to a guy, diffusing a bomb. that's how he talked me through it. not kidding is, i made him stay the phone. hear you say it again. put the butter under the skin. say it a second time. so it is look i am almost putting on him. if thanksgiving gets ruined. >> jimmy: not almost. >> i am putting it all on him. >> jimmy: his fault. >> go in friday, go, great job, it yol idiot. why didn't you say it a third time. i have the turkey. got to know if you do this. i realized i bought 30 bottles of wine. what i think it is, subconscious. what i am doing is going to cook the turkey, try very hard. but if it goes horribly wrong, i am going to get everybody wasted. open up as much wine as i can. >> jimmy: the holidays. >> exactly. >> jimmy: patton oswalt!
